The intent is to prevent the proliferation of special parking. stalls that may be installed for a short-term purpose but later are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily increases the City's nmintenance and operations costs, reduces available on- street parking for the general public and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking progr vn. 'W However, exceptions may be made, in special hardship cases, provided all of the following conditions exist: (1) Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid disable person placard for "disabled persons" or "disabled veterans" issued by the California Department of „ Motor Vehicles on the vehicle.
